Old Downtown - Laura Cantrell[00:00:00]

I went for a walk in my old downtown[00:00:15]

To the top of the hill and I turned around[00:00:20]

Train yard's not what it used to be[00:00:26]

The station's still standing by the factories[00:00:32]

Wendell's serving up the meat and three[00:00:37]

The tower lights read L & C[00:00:42]

Stood by the stone for the president[00:00:48]

Saw the bullet holes where the armies met[00:00:54]

Walked for a while with the suffragettes[00:00:59]

You know mama's still growing those roses yet[00:01:05]

Heard the echo of Bryan in the old court case[00:01:10]

And I thought as I walked about love and hate[00:01:16]

Passed a soldier boy with a gun of bronze[00:01:28]

Made a film of his life said he had a cause[00:01:34]

Didn't want to kill didn't want to die[00:01:39]

Felt the lightening flash took it as a sign[00:01:45]

That God is love and Jesus saves[00:01:51]

And our soldier does participate[00:01:55]

Alvin came to New York with his fortune made[00:02:01]

And he walked for a mile in the ticker tape[00:02:07]

The mayor smiled while Alvin prayed[00:02:12]

"Sir I'd like to ride that subway train"[00:02:18]

Shimmers on film like a summer day[00:02:24]

Silver black and white watch it fade away[00:02:29]

I left this place at a tender age[00:03:09]

In the family book you know I turned the page[00:03:14]

Never could describe all the energy[00:03:20]

Wakes me up at night with the memory[00:03:25]

Mama don't you call me I'm good as gone[00:03:31]

You know your daughter loves you but she heard this song[00:03:36]

Church bells ringing in the old downtowns[00:03:42]

Ancient sadness tumbles down[00:03:48]

The heavy veil of tragedy[00:03:53]

Makes it hard to breathe hard to see[00:03:58]

You can trace these scars along the ground[00:04:03]

When you're out for a walk in your old downtown[00:04:09]

I went for a walk in my old downtown[00:04:20]
